A propane campfire, a mug of perked coffee, and a bowl of sausage scramble. It’s a most salubrious outdoor breakfast. The weather doesn’t quite qualify as warm, but it’s not driving us inside the T@B for shelter either. It’s the first time this trip that we’ve felt comfortable lingering out of doors. Later this morning we’ll do some exploring of the Payne’s Prairie and Micanopy area. It’s just south of Gainesville and just east of I-75 that we have traveled past so many times but have explored so little. Perhaps there are geocaches to be found. And Yelp! advises us there is excellent Southern BBQ to savor.
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
